Don't you people listen to anything Mr. Prakash says, He said we will get news soon.....why won't you all just believe him. SOON... you all must have missed that part.
Taco,
LOL, dude I am constantly posting dumb tings that i could have found the answer for myself if I had simply just bothered to read the different areas of IHUB. Maybe someday IHUB will get their stuff together and create a user friendly site that just makes whatever information you are thinking about come to the page you are looking at. The important thing here is TIVUS is poised to make a huge impact in the industry, and we are all in at the right time to realize some nice gains when the time is right for SP to make the moves that are looming and have not been done for various reasons suppose? Waiting is for the birds, I am hoping I am still young enough to enjoy the profits when our ship finally comes in. In the meantime I will just sit back and puff on some "MJNA" until that day comes.

Blah,
Where in Australia? I too am down here for the next two weeks, doing some contract work. I am over in Freemantle (outside Perth). Surfing is awesome at Scarborough, not nearly as crowed as i remember Bells being. Anyways, keep us posted on what SP shares? and have a great day.

GOOGLE "Steve Haag SCSS" then look at the companies his firm holds as clients. any similarities to the state of business they all are in? Seems this guy has a real MIDAS touch, only everything he touches turns brown, and looks a lot like #2. get rid of SCSS, hire a real IR firm, get quality press releases, and see what happens to your Share Price. Like the rest of these companies, Your management team is working overtime to grow the company, they hired a joke to handle the IR and PR business. When you get your CEO on the line, my first question would be about SCSS?
16 jobs in ten years, WOW!!! That is impressive, seems she changes jobs every 7 and half months. What ever happened to Quality over Quantity? How much experience can one really gain from a company in 7.5 months? In 43 years, I have worked for 3 different companies, and I still continue to learn something everyday that I go to work. No worries mate!!! she will be gone before the dilution is over. Maybe even before this thing sees .0001

It would appear that our boy, Steve Haag has not drifted as far away from TIVUS and we initially thought (or hoped). It seems that TIVUS is one of SCSS's five clients. I suspect that Steve still carries the same role as he was hired to do at TIVUS, only he now sends SP a bill for his services instead of getting a weekly pay check. and he doesn't have to hump heavy video equipment or pull cables during Hotel installs. I found some rather hilarious stuff here as I read through the "Home Page". I won't bother to quote or paraphrase (as you are all intelligent to read for yourselves), and I am not going to be any part of starting rumors or attacking individuals. But after reading this, I now understand perfectly why there still has not been any change in quality, quantity or substance of TIVUS Press Releases.
Good Luck to you All,
JPR
LOL thanks, wish I could say it was my money, but a little old lady died and left me a chunk of spare change to play with. couldn't see giving to the kids to blow. I figure i can do that myself. We will see how this all turns out??? But if it is as good as it could be, lets just say I can't even imagine what door will open for my family.
Mike, you are selling to the wrong guy, I can't buy anymore without coming dangerously close to the proverbial 5% threshold that I am trying to stay clear of.
Sure would be NICE to close at 4 or higher. but then I expect that we will see alot of flips at 5.
There nothing else I can do, wall is tooo big. need the heavy hitters in here, to take those out
How much is left at 3? I can't get too much more, wanna stay below 5% of O/S
Is all this volume showing as sales or buys in L2?
Nic,
i believe that I stated that my figures were very dependent on the actual revenues that were being generated by our working model that admittedly none of us know anything on. I have no real reason to doubt the TIVUS model number's. SP, to the best of my knowledge, has never given us any reason to doubt his model. that is not saying that he has been stellar in communicating with us, but in his mind, and mine (for the most part), he is doing the best that he can. sure we would all like more, but if he can get this off the ground in a big fish pond, I think he is doing pretty good. not saying I want to have beers with the guy, but in the grand scheme of things, if he manages to go from an idea/dream to multi million dollar contracts in a few years, then i would say that that is better than I have done in my time on this planet. I used the low side figures and round numbers for the math. even if we got 25% of the numbers that I figured, in my example, I think that is still a whole lot more than what we are generating now or could do on our own in the near future. and still more than a flat $10 Million. Most of all it is pure speculation, only SP knows where he has been talking, and what his plans are. for all I know, SP could still have plans of flying solo on this and he plans on knocking on every hotel door in the world until he gets enough yes's. It will be nice when he starts answering up to all the goings on. until then all I do is dream, i am tired of focusing on the idea that he is out to scam us, and have focused on where he could possibly take us. I am in too deep to give up on this.
Kaiser,
My numbers tell a little bit bigger story, If LNET were to put us in just half of their 300,000 rooms, and we collected $1.00 per day per room for 300 days a year. that equals $45 million a year for TIVU. LNET would see even more. Enough money to develop the NOC and grow our ad revenue exponentially. My guess is with the NOC installed and LNET or another company using our technology, we could possibly make around $4.50 a day per room. or around $200 Million a year. Again this is just a BIG WHAT IF? but there are still plenty of options for TIVUS, this thing is NO WHERE close to dead like many are suggesting. We have a proven working model. The only thing we don't know for sure is if this baby can actually generate the kinds of revenue ($3.50 per day per room) that has been presented. I am anxiously (as all of us are) awaiting the PR or Financials that clearly state the kind of $$$$ this thing can actually generate.
Just got done reading thru a lot of post here about LNET, ST, and so forth...I couldn't pick one to reply directly to, but had a thought I wanted to throw out there.
It seems that there is much concern over whether a merger or a buy out is the best thing for the share holders?
My thought is, what about neither? I mean, I really believe that there is talks going on with LNET. It would be too much of a coincidence for not to be happening, but WHAT IF:
SP is too proud of our system to just sell it off. He obviously is still seeking out hotels to deploy the entire system into just as he has done in Philly, if he planned to merge, I don't think he would still be investigating market areas to saturate with business.
this may be a bad analogy, but think of it like XM/SIRIUS Radio, GM sells their cars with an option for a XM/SIRIUS radio.
What if SP is offering the TIVUS ad insertion unit to LNET to allow them to offer our technology into all the rooms and market share that they already hold, and allows us to share in the profits in 100's of thousands of rooms as fast as LNET can update. Now we don't get the full benefit like we will in the philly install, but it allows us to get our name out in the market. Kinda of like when DELL initially started selling computers straight to the consumer cutting out the middle man. Great product but they could never get to everyone until they worked out a deal to also sell through retailers. You want the best deal on a DELL custom designed one of a kind hooty hoo computer that fits your need exactly, you call DELL and order your computer. but if you want the security of buying through a brick and mortar place you can trust like best buy or walmart or whatever then you go there and buy a ready made DELL system.
The TIVUS technology is patented, but they can buy usage rights by paying us a royalty fee which means we profit immediately and continuously (by a part of the ad insertion revenue)every time they install in one of the hotels that they have under a current existing contract, and we don't have to wait 60 months in some case to get our foot in the door and show what we can do.
I may be out in left field, but it is just a thought, somebody wanna comment, destroy, or add to my idea please feel free.
not saying that any of this is true or acurate, just another what if?
LOL, I could make more than this mining Corn from turds and selling it for chicken feed. Some times I really wonder how I end up owning half the crap i end up with? Maybe I should quit drinking so much shoe polish huh? You are probably right though, I will just hold, until I need a good tax write off.
is there any news expected? someone please share the DD on this. I don' even remember buying this position??? I just found it hanging out in the back corner of my portfolio. numbers as of late don't look to good. Is there any reason to hold on to this thing?
SLOW DOWN JWEZ!!! We suffered through you knowing everything while we sat here like mushrooms. let some of us buy a few more shares at this price before you go jacking around with the price. I got room to accumulate another 25 million or so and still be under 5%
SHHHH!!!! nobody tell SP, he probably thinks he is at his spending limit. let this be our secret.
This is great news!!!! I am way under 5%, watch for big buys in the coming days. Can you provide the source?
Does anyone know how or if it is possible to ungag the T/A? If it is just a matter of writing a check, let me know where to send it.
Come on DEADBOY, do your really believe that? your right the 8K hasn't been filed but as JWEZ pointed out, neither has any of the other filings. That PR was public, it wasn't just secret whispered to certain shareholders. It was even posted to LNET's board because it mentioned LNET, but if it wasn't true. don't you think Truckenmiller and the rest of the HOTEL TV industry would be all over that like flys on honey just to point out the shortcomings of TIVUS. Yeah I believe there would have been negative Press fallout if SP was releasing bum dope about its hirings of that magnitude. LNET knows who we are, they know we are small, but we mean business. I guarantee you their decision makers are working overtime to try and figure out how to deal with us in a manner that leaves them in a good position for growing their business. They know they are in trouble. By all means continue posting your negativity. it actually does some good to identify the areas that need improving, but for everyone's sake please knock-off the slanderous insults for which you have no credible proof to back-up what you are saying.
looking to take out a position on this stock, can you please share any DD? Also seems my usual broker is not trading this ticker, what broker are you all using? Using my last post of the day, but thank you all for your replies in advance, hope to get to know some of you in the future.
I agree.....Now sow me the BIG LUNCH!!!
Does anyone have the Physical Address for the Tivus Home Office? The address given on the website of 14301 FNB Parkway Suite 100 is evidently not correct?
Can someone intelligently shed some light on what is going on with TIVU please? going back and looking at the charts before last friday. tivus had only 100 million plus volume days on 3 occasions. once when the PPS went to .0001 (which is understandable) and twice the price spiked up considerably. last friday, and yesterday the price did not move. I know it didn't move because I had large buys in at .0002, and (except for 310,000 shares for 60 some odd dollars)nothing filled. both orders with different brokers, were significantly larger than that. ?????? go back and read the press releases and they read like things were further along 15 months ago than they are now. What the Heck?
GOOD NEWS!!! They didn't find any blank NDA's laying around, so probably not the same SP.
LOL, and next you are going to tell me there is no Easter Bunny, Right?
More thought to chew on:
Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD)
Became a Federal Regulation in 2000,requires companies to release “material information” to the public at the same time it is disclosing it to any institutional investor. If the disclosure to the institutional investor is accidental, the company has to quickly inform the public. But if the disclosure is planned, such as a quarterly conference call with analysts to discuss earnings, then public disclosure must be simultaneous.
Companies can meet that requirement in a number of ways, such as by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC that contains the information to be disclosed, or by opening the conference call to the public.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/regfd.htm
Also keep in mind that when that number was published, the A/S was 1 billion and O/S was around 850 million +/-. since then, we have an A/S of 3 billion, with an O/S of at least roughly 1.5 billion. About a 76% increase in O/S that we know of for sure. Even though, SP declared that the dilution was "done" at the Radio Interview and the T/A got gagged. Not sure how many General managers were at the meeting in Philly and saw our system, but I would bet that more than a few ran home and dropped a hundred bucks on the bet that TIVUS is the next best thing for the Hotel industry.
well here is a little more unsubstantiated speculation to chew on. A contract issued to a corporation is considered an "Asset". Assuming there is MORE THAN ONE contract, what and how many exactly, we don't know. But IF they total more than $10 Million face value, then SP is/would be in violation of Federal Regulation, specifically, the Securities Exchange act of 1934, which requires reporting regardless of what exchange they trade on. Any shareholder that knew of Assets greater than $10 million and did not report this, would be considered an accessory to the Securities Violations. I do agree that the OTC doesn't require reporting for Pinkies to be current, but their requirements cannot over-ride federal regulations. The only out he would have is the number of shareholders. I don't know how many shareholders TIVUS has, but the requirement for reporting is $10 million AND 500 shareholders. I am pretty sure that there are not 500 members in this board, but I also don't doubt this board actually represents only a small number of shareholders. I would be very surprised if the 1.5 billion A/S (that we know of) is actually owned by less than 500. I do know that all corporations are required to keep records of Shareholders on file, and should be able to tell you within 24 hours HOW MANY? I certainly would like to know how many of us there are?
I have read that, even thought about it, but it is unsubstantiated speculation, just as much so, as anything else on this board of late. There is way too much of that on this board. Just my opinion, but this board should be about facts and DD. Without any substance, this board becomes exactly what it has become, a chat room for rumors, dirty jokes, and personal attacks. Heck before long, the only thing we will have left to talk about is our length and staying time. The only people in here that can talk about TIVUS, "can't talk about it" for whatever reason. We are told "soon" but never given any idea what "Soon" means. We are given "Ad revenue generation should be at full capacity by early (I would understand "early" to mean somewhere before the midpoint) in 2nd fiscal quarter" (the only real time reference I can find anywhere) yet here we are midway through 2nd quarter, and no announcement of what revenue numbers are. Financials are almost a month and a half overdue, and we are wondering what new business SP is strumming up? Shouldn't we be demanding that SP clean his own house before he worries anymore about adding to the mess. He is busy, I got that, but he reportedly has ST here now, I would be perfectly happy hearing news from that guy. I mean for goodness sakes, we presumably have paid the guy for the last 30 something days or more. Tell us what he is doing? give us financials or something. No legal contract with any Hotel Chain can stipulate that TIVUS violate SEC regulations and not release their required financial statements. That is just ridiculous to believe. I understand that is not exactly what you were saying, but in essence that is what it amounts to.
SeeYa,
When you do finally get him on the line, will you find out if there is an email address that we can write him, and expect to get an actual response? I have emails dating back almost two months that have not gotten as much as a "You can expect to here from me soon" response. Understanding that soon is a relative reference of time, It seems that the definition of soon has been lost in translation.
soon [soon]
adverb, soon·er, soon·est.
1. within a short period after this or that time, event, etc.
2. before long; in the near future; at an early date
3. promptly or quickly
4. readily or willingly: I would as soon walk as ride.
5. early in a period of time; before the time specified is much advanced: soon at night; soon in the evening.
It appears that SP uses the terms "Soon" and "Sooner or Later" (Eventually) interchangeably. but one could definitely argue that "Eventually" hasn't even come to fruition.
Brian,
I think that R3's thoughts/dreams are in the right place, but we seem to have forgotten that while a share buyback would be nice, We still don't have the promised Financials and Uplist. that supposedly hasn't happened because we were so cash strapped to pay for them. now all of a sudden we get $40k back in the way of a buy back? I am definitely not an expert but things don't add up. 200 million shares presumably are bought back, roughly 15% of the known O/S, and no price increase? actually a drop in PPS. Doesn't make sense to me. Someone please help me make sense of this?
No doubt, SP himself has been promising "SOON" , and now you too? How many more of these "soon" promises do we have to endure? Enough already, GOOD, BAD or UGLY, give us the News, please. We are are big boys and girls, we wipe our own butts, we can handle it.
That's OK, he seems to have found his way home, We are our own village, stocked full of idiots.
I THINK I GOT IT!!! "BoyToy" rhymes with "joy" and "annoy"
Fantastic DD you posted there, great find, what would we have ever done without such a wonderful board member like yourself. I am curious though, You mentioned a "Skull and Crossbones" earlier? have you done similar DD on that too, or are you just trying to be derogatory? I do believe that Derogatory post are a violation of TOS, so no way would you be doing that right? "Skull and Crossbones" actually exist in the OTC? Please share?
Deadboy....You have gone to great lengths to obviously try to save all of us silly tivus investors from our own ignorance. Please explain in your own opinion what if anything Tivus would have to do, in your eyes, to turn your opinion of them around. I can hardly wait to hear this. I just find it hard to believe that anyone who thinks TIVUS is so far gone that you would remain here day in and day out to tell us all how bad this Position is. You must be one caring individual, that is for sure.
"As our first ad-revenues began last month at our inaugural Philadelphia IPTV with ad-insertion installation, I remain optimistic and still expect our system to be well-booked with advertisers and generating expected revenue by early in the second fiscal quarter." - Feb. 2012
For those of you that have a quick connect to SP's ear, we are nearly halfway through the second quarter, I think that qualifies as certainly past "early in the second fiscal quarter". Please ask him to elaborate on where we sit here. He gave us a somewhat specific time frame, now either he is meeting his expectations or he is not, but he owes us a comment one way or the other on this.
